'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (natively ''an dûaigh Cùm'' /ʔan dˠûəj kʰūːm/, written ''Kurm'') is a lect of [[Wiebian]] and the official language of the [[Verse:Kurm Republic]]. It's inspired by Irish and Chinese: it's a monosyllabic tonal language with palatalized consonants and initial consonant mutations. Unlike other Wiebian lects, Kurmian retains the Ancient Wiebian declension system.

==Sound changes==
{{Infobox language

From Schnueher page:

'''{{SUBPAGENAME}}''' (English: /koʊ/, natively ''lees ndoigh Komh'' /li noi kɔ/ (TBA: tone)) is a language spoken in [[Bjeheond]]; as a [[Hlou-Shum languages|Hlou-Shum language]], it's related to [[Hlou]]. It is a monosyllabic tonal language inspired by Hmong, Irish, Manx, and English. Like Irish, Ko has initial consonant mutations.


Tone from French style weakening of finals? (-d, -t > high (short V)/rising (long V); -s > low (short V)/falling (long V); -de/-te > -t)
==Todo==
Motivation: "Sinospheric Irish" or "Hmoob read by an Irish speaker"
*Explain: lexical mutation in Hlou, grammatical mutation in Ko
**Hlou lexical mutation could have arisen from a grammatical mutation system where the particles fell away
*''dor'' = to be born ~ Hlou ''Ndol'' 'person'
*TODO: kl gl sk > q
*bach = small, meer = big
*hleubh = to love (hlub means "to love" in Hmong)
*kein = archaic negative word
*ein = emphasis/'rather'
*koobh = good
*cu = copper


final stops > high tone; final -Ce > final -C; final -l > ŋ
==Phonology==
{{SUBPAGENAME}} has fewer initials than [[Hlou]], due to initial mutations.
===Phonotactics===
C + V + tone


nasal vowels > vowel + w
===Initials===
''m n ņ l nl r y w'' = /m n ɲ l (dark l) r j w/


-s would still serve as a tone marker
''hm hn hņ hl hr hy hw'' = /ʰm ʰn ʰɲ ʰl ʰr ç (voiceless w)/


Some AW sources for finals:
''p t tç ts tx c k q b d j g'' = /h t ts (Basque ts) tʃ c k q b d ɟ g/
*-p < -fe, -ffe, -pf(e), -be
*-t < -de, -te
*-k < -cke
*-m < -me, -mpfe
*-n < -ne, -nde, -nze
*-ŋ < -nge, -nke, -l, -le
*-w < -m, -n, -nd, -ng, -nk, -b, -f
*-ː < -ge
*-j < -tz, -tze, -sche, -st, -ste, -che (ich-laut), -se
*-h < -re, -che


Uncategorized: -mpf, -mpfe, -nd, -nde, -nz, -nze, -nk, -nke > -m(h), -n(ʔ), -n(h), -ŋ(ʔ)?
''pl bl tl dl'' = /hl bl tl dl/


==Phonology==
''ph th tçh tsh txh ch kh qh bh dh jh gh'' = /f θ s (Basque s) ʃ ç x χ v ð j ɣ/
===Phonotactics===
The maximal syllable structure is C(r/l)VC. A syllable is not allowed to terminate in a short vowel except in some function words.


Allowed initial clusters (not counting mutations): '''pr tr cr br dr gr fr ngr spr str scr pl cl bl gl fl spl'''
''phl bhl thl dhl'' /fl vl ɬ ɮ/


===Initials===
''np nt ntç nts ntx nc nk nq nb nd nj ng'' = /b d dz (voiced Basque ts) dʒ ɟ g ɢ m n ɲ ŋ/

''npl nbl ntl ndl'' /bl ml dl nl/
*/p˭ t˭ k˭/ are written '''sp st sc'''.


===Vowels===
''f ç s x'' = /f s (Basque s) ʃ/
/ˠa ˠɪ ˠɔ ˠʊ ˠaː ˠeː ˠiː ˠoː ˠuː ˠuə/ '''a oi/ui o u à aè aoì ò ù ùa'''

''nf nç ns nx'', also ''fh çh sh xh'' = /v z (voiced Basque s) ʒ/


===Finals===
===Rimes===
The allowed finals are: /p t k m n ŋ r j w/ {{angbr|''b d g m n l/ng r igh bh''}}
''a i ao u e o ee oo ai ei oi au eu ia ua'' = /a ɪ ɨ ʊ ɛ ɔ i u ai ei oi au eu iə uə/


===Tones===
===Tones===
Rising, mid, falling (á, à/unmarked, â)
9 tones:
 
Short vowels are toneless. (cf. "entering tone" in Middle Chinese)
 
===Mutations===
The following initials can undergo lenition or eclipsis:


{| class="greentable lightgreenbg " style=" text-align: center;"

|-
*-ch: glottal stop final
|+ '''Initial mutations'''
*-s: low falling

|}


In addition, h-prothesis adds ''h-'' to the beginning of a word beginning with a vowel.
==Grammar==
 
Ko is SVO and head-initial. Mutations often operate on a syntactic basis.
==Morphology==
===Nouns===
===Nouns===
Compound words are head-final: ''sóng-truu'' = 'agenda book' (lit. 'check-book', i.e. a book that one checks)
plural word: ''yoo-L'' (placed after classifier but before noun)
 
===Pronouns===
Attributive adjectives precede the noun and take the same mutation as the noun. Examples:
*xan = I
*''an gò gaoì'' 'the tall tree' (nominative)
*çeedh = you
*''an n-gò dtrú'' 'the long book' (nominative)


====Indefinite mutations====
===Classifiers===
====Definite mutations====
Classifiers were historically a very open class. They always eclipse the following noun.

===Verb phrase===
===Verbs===
Verbs do not inflect for subject agreement or tense; however, preverbal tense/discourse/connective markers trigger mutations on the verb. Unusually, connectives come immediately after the verb.
ba = subjunctive marker


Tense:
''Ba fhaomh-saigh le çeedh'' = If you like it
*present: no marker
**''sèir'' = 'dies' (< AW ''zernen''), ''eic'' /ʔɛk/ = 'buys' (< AW ''eckern'')
*past: ''scil'' + lenition (< AW ''schillen'' 'finish')
**''scil shèir'' = 'died', ''scil eic'' = 'bought'
*future: ''ngêir'' + h-prothesis  ( < AW ''Đerz'' 'wish')
**''ngêir sèir'' = 'will die', ''ngéir h-eic'' 'will buy'
*infinitive: ''go'' + lenition (from ''ge-'')
**''go shèir'' = 'to die'
Connectives:
*''zeár'': 'when' (< AW ''sätter'' 'eventually')
*''daoìgh'' + eclipsis: 'because' (< AW ''deichen'')
*''spàr'': 'but, however' (''spaler'' 'unfortunately')


===Derivational morphology===
==Sample text==
*''ba-'' + lenition (from ''be-''): verbalizer
===Tower of Babel===
**''ba-bhì'': 'nasalize' < ''bì'' 'nose'
:''Pugh çedh yaus nqar ņiamh tso txuabh çhaor aon lees ndoigh kiabh aon lees ntlair.''
*''go-'' + lenition (from ''ge-''): nominalizer
:CONJ in CLF world whole PST give only one CLF language and one CLF speak
**also ''for-'' (from ''ver-'')
:And in the whole world there was one language and one way of speaking.
*''inn-'': increments a verb's valency
*''sar-'': decrements a verb's velency
==Sample texts==
===UDHR, Article 1===
:''Scil shéibh bî-bî an bhfàr go thúa mâ dè bân fhor-stuid...''


:''Roomh lu yoo las jhugh dle [hyoch mhar], [ka nfemh] re txuabh tçhaoch ibh yaus [njo qiagh] Xi-Na, pugh re txuabh cheich hmoi nblaun.''
:when CLF PL person travel eastward then
:As the people moved eastward...
